Molly, who was standing next to Bella turned to her with stars in her eyes. “Wait, Henry bought Star Moon Hotel? Can you imagine how powerful he is?”The other students began to whisper among themselves. “Did Mr. Cross just refer to Henry as president?”“Can you imagine how rich he is to have secured this hotel?”“I don’t understand. How is all this even possible?”The students went on speaking. Jared slipped behind Benedict and walked up to Markus. They began to whisper to each other.“I think it’s time we accept the fact that he’s rich. The signs are everywhere.” Markus said with his arms folded across his chest.Everyone was staring in disbelief as the staff went on to introduce themselves to Henry. “If he was this rich then why did he spend his life picking up trash? This whole thing is driving me nuts.” Jared cried out. Molly moved away from Bella and stood before her colleagues. “Seems like Henry had been playing games with us all these while. Isn’t it evident that he’s ric

Bella’s face was covered with a shocked reaction after Henry made the response. She then joined her palms together and went on begging him. Henry was disgusted by Bella’s actions. What does she take him for? A fool? He knew she was bent on getting back with him because of his newfound money. He shook his head. “I’m not as lowly as you are.” He then walked away, leaving behind a stunned Bella. Benedict was trying to keep his temper in check and possibly free himself from the humiliating position he was in. When he saw Bella hovering over Henry like a bear at the sight of honey, he wasn’t bothered but the determined Bella went running down the lobby after Henry with tears rolling down her cheeks. The students began to point at Benedict and giggle. “Get away from him, Bella!” Benedict yelled, shooing her like a dog. Mr. Cross turned to the students. “Party is over. What are you all still doing here?”They vanished. Meanwhile, one of the guards had arrived with a camp-size bed. He

Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. He felt his arms wrapped around something or someone rather. When he darted his gaze down, he saw Stacey in his arms, smiling at him. She was tucked beneath the sheets just like him. The sheets were the only covering around them. Henry’s eyes widened when the flashes of the previous night came wavering on his mind. Stacey was looking up at him with her eyes filled with desire. “Good morning, sleepy head.” “What time is it?” he quickly sat up and wiped his eyes with the edge of his left palm. Stacey stared at the wall clock. “noon on the dot.” She turned to Henry with a smile. “What a perfect time to wake up.”Henry’s brows went up in disbelief. “noon?” He then looked through the window. The sun was already up, shining brightly. “How on earth did I sleep for this long?” He cried out and lowered the sheet to his waist. Henry would always wake up at dawn to collect trash. It was the first time in 6 years that he ha

Benedict went on nodding like a puppet while Henry made things clear. Henry was making use of every nerve in his finger pointed at Benedict to pass the message. He wasn’t throwing cheap threats. “You can leave now,” Henry concluded and in an instant, Benedict vanished. When Henry went back to the hotel room, Stacey had already packed their bags. They dashed out. When they got to the reception, they met Mr. Cross.“We will take our leave. We had a good time.” Henry said. Mr. Cross smiled. “It’s an honor to hear that from you. Did you come with a car? I can make arrangements for a private vehicle to take you to your destination.”Henry shook his head. “That wouldn’t be necessary.”Mr. Cross walked them to the door. When they got outside, Stacey moved to the spot where she had parked her car the previous day. She stepped on the driver’s corner and after Henry got in, she drove off. “Let’s go to the hospital,” Henry said after Stacey drove past the hotel. She smiled. “Of course.”Th

Nurse Betty shook her head. “Calm down, miss. Your father is alive.”Stacey heaved a sigh of relief. Henry caught himself smiling. “Your father is in the treatment room.” The nurse supplied. “Got it,” Stacey replied and ran toward Henry. She grabbed him by the hand and ran out. She ran straight to the treatment room. Her father was once taken there so Stacey knew exactly where the room was. It was upstairs, right on top of the ward. When they there, Stacey noticed that the door was open so she simply barged in. She was taken aback by the spectacle before her. Her poor father was the only one in the room. He was in a wheelchair, crouched in a corner breathing heavily. Stacey quickly let go of Henry’s hand. “Dad! Are you okay?”The old man slowly lifted his head. “Why are you the only one here?” She rushed to him and knelt in front of him. She began to sob. When patients are brought to the treatment room upstairs, it means they were in need of urgent care and the room is mostly

Dr. Derrick took his head into his hands, acting like he was feeling dizzy. “Did you say 10 million?”Over the years as a doctor, Derrick had met various patient relatives. Some people sold their properties to raise the needed hospital bills and some had to take loans and ended up bankrupt but no one could give out 10 million at once. After concluding that Henry was playing games with him, Dr. Derrick fell back on his chair. He looked up at Henry. “You got so much nerve. You think 10 million is a piece of cake and even if you bring 100 million, it will change nothing. He still can’t stay here.”Henry faced Dr. Derrick. “What are you talking about? Is the hospital full or what?”“And what if I say it’s full.” Retorted Dr. Derrick. He seemed irritated. “Well, he’s already here so there has to be some space,” Henry replied. Stacey palmed her head. It was all too much for her. “The hospital is full. All the wards are taken that’s why he was transferred to the treatment room, the only

“You know what? You should be an actor. You’re very good at this.” Dr. Derrick said after having a good laugh. “You want to buy the best hospital in Marylyn City. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much this hospital is worth?”“Give me half an hour,” Henry said confidently. “Oh really?” Dr. Derrick fired back. “You want to buy the hospital in half an hour now?” he laughed and threw his hands around his head. “Unbelievable!”Henry looked down at Dr. Derrick who was gawking at him. He swallowed the lump that had developed in his throat and promised himself that in about 30 minutes, Power would change hands. Stacey had grown cold. While the men were going back and forth, she was just staring blankly at the grey wall.Dr. Derrick turned to her. “Miss, Stacey. I think your friend has a mental problem. Save yourself the stress and all the trouble. Just think of my suggestion.” He then began to create imaginary circles on the table. “As long as you pledge to serve me well, getting your

The massive hospital with all its staff had just been handed over to someone else at a hat-throw. Dr. Derrick caught himself staring at Henry like a ghost. Who was this guy? He kept wondering. Dr. Derrick couldn’t hold it together anymore. He marched to the scene and faced President Gale. “Are you sure he bought this place? Isn’t this kid a fraud or something?”President Gale gasped and turned to his two assistants who had been silent all along. “Who hired this guy?” he was referring to Dr. Derrick. “How dare he talk to Mr. Parker that way?”“We are sorry, sir.” One of the board members responded and glared at Dr. Derrick. Henry realized that it was time to let the cat out of the bag. He faced President Gale. “Do you know that Dr. Derrick wanted to kick out a patient who was admitted here without any solid reason?”“What?” President Gale was shocked. “Not only that.” Henry continued. “He also tried to force my friend to sleep with him.” Henry was now pointing at Stacey whose hea

Micheal flipped the card and turned to Henry and Kelvin with disbelief in his eyes. He felt as if he was living in a dreamland.How did Henry, a trash collector buy a car worth a million dollars? Wondered Micheal. He looked intensely at Henry again and concluded that he had underestimated the value of Henry’s clothes and cologne. If he had imagined that Henry’s life turned better, it was now evident that it changed for the better.Henry cleared his throat loudly and stretched his hand toward Micheal. “My card, please.”Micheal passed the card to Henry with a trembling hand. He was tempted to ask Henry where he got so much money from. Throughout his years of working at the car shop, Micheal had barely saved 50,000 dollars so he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of job Henry had in Marylyn.Originally, Micheal felt a sense of superiority before Henry but now that the transaction was complete, the sense of superiority instantly became that of inferiority.Micheal’s heart was instantly f

Greenville was a small town and the occupants knew each other so news about the demolition was now an agenda in the town.Henry nodded and said nothing.Micheal concluded that Henry was very worried about the matter that’s why he couldn’t even comment on it.“Don’t be anxious.” Micheal started the comfort Henry. “Didn’t people on the old street go to confront the developers? Be positive. I’m sure that there’ll be changes.”Henry nodded again. “It’s just about time. Everything will be fixed once the ownership of the Holiday real estate company changes hands.”Micheal looked at Henry with a quirked brow. His confusion was growing. Were the developers planning to sell their company? Micheal could not imagine that. Everyone knew Ryan Holiday as a big sky that could cover the entire town with his glory and the company was his fortress.Henry saw Micheal looking at him with a blank expression so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Why don’t we look at the cars first?”“Right!” Michea

Kelvin and Henry finally settled for a business car which was spacious enough to accommodate twenty passengers. “Let’s go and get it,” Henry said and stood up. Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “Wait, you mean right now?”“Don’t worry about the urgency,” Henry replied with a smile. He went to the kitchen and instructed Hailey to look after the children then he went to meet Kelvin by the door. There was only one car shop in the entire city. So instead of going in his car, Henry requested that they walk to the spot. “It’s a way of exercising.” He had said. As they made their way toward the car store, Henry looked at the old street carefully. The more he studied the area, the more he realized that it was tearing into pieces and the environment felt odd for him. He had three years’ worth of memory there and he couldn’t help but imagine how the neighbors who were forced out of the area felt despite being attached to the place all their lives. “You bought all the houses. What are you going to

Chapter 192The other men opened their eyes and when they saw Betty and Tiny Tim in the room, they began to tremble with fear. They were so scared that they wet themselves on the bed. Henry had already explained to Betty and Tiny Tim their role at the hospital. Kyiv was so scared that his whole body was trembling. The sight of Betty and Tiny Tim in the room instantly gave him post-traumatic stress disorder. It was barely two days after their last encounter. Betty giggled and moved closer to Kyiv. “I’m not here to teach you a lesson. Our employer ordered us to come here because he had something to tell you.”After hearing that they weren’t there to finish him off as he expected, Kyiv heaved several sighs of relief. “Go ahead!” He said. Betty folded her arms across her chest and began. “My employer sends his sympathy. We heard that Ryan Holiday abandoned you guys. Although you guys offended my employer’s family in the past, he had always been clear about his intentions. Your boss ha

In the future, Henry was going to return to his biological family and by that time, he’d be further away from his Greenville family so he needed to empower them as soon as he could. As long as he could support Kelvin to take charge of the family, Henry knew that he could be anywhere and his mind would be at ease. The Holiday Real Estate Company was considered a top company in Greenville. If Kelvin controls such a company, ordinary people would not be able to offend him hence the Potter family would remain safe so that’s why Henry wanted to secure the spot. After Kelvin agreed, Henry turned to Betty. “You know what to do.”Betty stood up and cleaned her hands with a napkin. “Yes sir.” She nodded and left. ***The entire Holiday real estate company was in a mess. Even though the people at the old street were gone, Ryan had stationed guards around the company because the people might return at any time. All the employees were forced to sleep over at work that night. Even though it wa

When Henry woke up the next day, he was greeted by the events that took place at the Holiday real estate site. According to Kelvin, the neighbors on the old street who protested had an intense conflict with the employers of the company. Although Ryan had threatened the photographers and reporters from taking multimedia clips of the situation, the people did their job and as it stands, everything that was captured had been uploaded on the internet. “Look!” Kelvin said and passed his phone to Henry.When Henry watched the video, he broke into an intense laughter. There was no denying that the conflict was a heated one. These were the same people who had hidden in the past but now, every one of them was as powerful as a mad tiger; all thanks to the 2 million dollars Henry had promised each of them. In the video, Henry saw how the people roared and shook the gates violently. The employees of the company could not stop them at all. Amidst the confusion and chaos, the protesters pushed t

After the people were gone, Kelvin turned to Henry. “I agree with what you’ve done. It will be difficult for them to reverse the agreement but they can go ahead and try. These people are very hateful. Where were they when we were fighting the developers? Now they finally dare to fight back because of the 2 million they could get?” Kelvin spat and shook his head with contempt. Henry smiled and turned to the children. “Come, let’s get inside.”Kelvin and Hailey led everyone into the house. Although Mr. Potter’s house was in a bad state, the area of the house was not small. There were cracks on the wall and the paintings had faded but there was enough space for the children to sleep and play around. Kelvin took the children to their rooms to make their beds and do their morning chores which they couldn’t do earlier due to the excitement of having breakfast at a fancy restaurant.Hailey noticed the way Henry was surveying the living room. She walked up to him. “The place is old and sma

Kyiv was the most disappointed among the group. He had served Ryan Holiday for so many years and he had been working extra hard to prove himself. It was the demolition; a project handed over to him by Ryan himself that made him crippled but Ryan didn’t just refuse to pay for his treatment. He also dumped him. Kyiv shut his eyes and took a deep breath. “Ryan, I curse you and all your generations to come.” He screamed out of despair.***Henry and the children were done having breakfast. They were now on their way back to their home on the old street. When the cars pulled toward the house, Henry and the others saw a large group of people blocking the entrance. As they drove closer to the house, June turned to Henry. “I don’t know what these people are looking for so we should avoid them.”Henry pulled down the reflectors and looked closely at the group. He turned to June with a calm expression. “Don’t worry. They are all neighbors of the old street.”The cars finally came to a halt an

After getting his teeth extracted, Ryan had an artificial one placed back there and immediately after he walked out of the clinic, he reached out for his phone and placed a call to his favorite subordinate.“Kyiv, where are you now!” Ryan yelled over the phone after his call was responded to. Kyiv was Ryan’s most loyal and capable subordinate. With the help of Kyiv, Ryan was able to achieve a lot of operations not worthy of mentioning. Kyiv sighed over the phone. “I need you to get your ass over here!” Ryan went on yelling. “I have a job for you.” As far as Ryan was concerned, only a man like Kyiv could handle Henry. Meanwhile, Kyiv’s voice was calm. “I’m in an emergency room at the hospital right now.” He replied and groaned afterward. Ryan was surprised when he heard Kyiv moaning over the phone in pain. “Which hospital is that and why are you in an emergency room in the first place ?” Ryan asked. “The community dispensary on Barett Street,” Kyiv responded. Ryan immediately h
